Future- what about our health?

Future

As the new global green movement continues. People are finally realizing that our earth is dying. As we are biological creatures, there is an inevitable connection between us and the earth. I believe that as the world becomes more eco friendly we will find a new connection between the world and our bodies. By doing so, we will be more healthy and a lot more happier. In an article, “Healing Our Bodies Through Healing the Earth”, Stacy Simone states,

“ According to British research-scientist James Lovelock's Gaia Theory (many aspects of which have now become accepted by the mainstream), the earth is a self-regulating superorganism of which we humans are a part, with its different parts working together as an interconnected whole.”

We are a part of the entire system that is earth and to pull ourselves away only enhances the egotism that is human beings. However, there is a large and great movement that is happening at the moment. Other then the green movement, there are artists and architects that are understanding the importance of health in architecture. One person would be Shusaku Arakawa. He created in New York the “Architectural Body Research Foundation”. Along with his partner Madeline Gins, they created the Reversible Destiny Houses. In this house, the complete interior of the building is designed so that the user would benefit their bodies just by being in the space.
